Ubud Cooking Class

DISCOVER UBUD • DISCOVER BALI

Where Bali’s

Soul Comes Alive

Ubud is more than a destination. It is rice terraces, temples, art, village life and food passed from one generation to the next.

Welcome to Ubud

The Cultural Heart of Bali

Surrounded by emerald rice terraces, tropical forests and village life, Ubud is a place where Balinese culture is experienced every day. Temples, ceremonies, artists, farmers and family kitchens are woven into the rhythm of life.

 

And there is no better way to understand a culture than through its food.

The Spirit of Ubud

Culture You Can Taste

Balinese food is not simply about recipes. It is about fresh ingredients, fragrant spices, traditional tools, community and the stories behind every dish.

 

In a Balinese kitchen, ingredients are prepared by hand. Spices are crushed in a stone mortar. Banana leaves become natural plates and wrappers. Food is cooked, shared generously and enjoyed together.

Tradition

Techniques and recipes continue to be passed from generation to generation.

Community

Cooking and eating connect people through family and village life.

Spices

Fresh herbs, roots, chillies and aromatics create Bali’s distinctive flavours.

Rice Fields

Ubud’s landscape is shaped by generations of rice farming.

Now Experience It Yourself

Don't Just Visit Ubud. Cook a Part of It.

Touch the ingredients, grind the spices, cook over the fire and sit down together to enjoy the food you created.

Truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Beras Bali! The whole experience was wonderful from walking around local markets to see where our food is coming from to cooking slowly and intentionally (so many delicious foods)! Was SUCH a great time! Highly recommend :)

We had a wonderful time learning how to cook Balinese food! We cooked so many amazing dishes and they were all amazing. In the morning, our driver Made picked us up from our hotel and took us to the market tour. He was knowledgeable about all the different produce. Then we went back to the cooking area and he told us how to chop all the veggies and herbs. Once all the prep was done, we started cooking! It was so fun getting to grind sauces with the mortar and pestle and working a wok. Made was a great instructor who made us all feel very comfortable. He’s also very funny! We were laughing the whole time. Highly recommend this experience to everyone visiting Bali. It was a small group so it was nice to get to know the other travelers.

Madie was our chef for our cooking class. We went to local market to look at our ingredients. The class was super informative and we made everything we ate. The whole experience was great and well worth the money. If you come to Ubud make sure you consider Beras cooking if you want to do a class.

It was an amazing experience to learn balinese cooking. It was only me and my husband registered for an afternoon class- still Madi took us and we cooked 10 dishes. We told the chef we love Mie goreng and he added it to menu just for us. It is an amazing family ran business. Super sweet people and traditional cook at its best. If you planning to take a cooking class, I highly recommend Bera bali!
